s390/dasd: Enable automatic loading of dasd_diag_mod
Enabling a DASD that was configured to use the DIAG250 access method while the corresponding kernel module dasd_diag_mod has not been loaded fails with an error message. To fix this, users need to manually load the dasd_diag_mod module. This procedure can be simplified by automatically loading the dasd_diag_mod from within the kernel when a DASD configured for DIAG250 is set online.
